Negotiating with Josh Hamilton after a four-homer game might not be the strongest strategy for the Rangers. At least wait until after a two-homer game.

You get the feeling that if the Dodgers opened an inning with a runner at third, Don Mattingly would bunt him back to second.

Used to be beating the Yankees in the ninth was impossible owing to Mariano Rivera. Now that it's super easy to do so, the Rays should get no credit whatsoever for scoring four and coming from behind Wednesday.

Radar revealed the Baltimore area to be completely clear, except for one patch of steady rain over Camden Yards. After getting beat by a combined score of 24-6 the past two games, one wonders if the Orioles were in any way responsible... nah.

Mattingly thinks Uribe can bunt. I am amazed how he continually asks Uribe to bunt even when it is called for. Sure,a major leaguer should be able to bunt but Uribe cannot do it. Why ask someone to do something that he is not capable of doing. Funny stuff and on the money.
